Specification of Letterslatent.

Patented Apr. 11, 1916.

Application filed January 20, 1914. Serial No. 813,280.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, THOMAs G. LEVING- STON and NETTIE M. VAN EPPs, citizens of the United States, residing at El Paso, in the county of El Paso and State of Texas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Combined Shade and Curtain-Pole Brackets, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to combined shade and curtain pole brackets and the object of the invention is to provide a simple and eflicient device of this character which may be attached to the upper sash of the window and arranged so as to be removable toward and away from the sash so as to secure the proper spaced relation between the shade, curtain and the frame and yet be movable with the sash so as to obtain the proper ventilation when necessary.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which is secured to the upper sash of the window in which the shade supportin member is adjustable to accommodate di fl 'erent lengths of shade rollers and in which the curtain pole supports are arranged to retain and prevent displacement of the shade roller supporting means.

Further objects of the invention will appear as the following specific description is read in connection with the accompanying drawing, which forms a part of this application, and in which Figure 1 is a front elevation. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section through the frame showing the supports in top plan view. Fig. 3 is a side elevation with the curtain pole in section. Fig. 4; is a vertical sectional view on the line 4.- l of Fig. 1.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, thestructure comprises a pair of bracket arms 1 and 2 each of which have angular bases 3 provided with openings to receive suitable fastening devices. The bases are made slightly angular so as to incline the arms to carry the curtain poles and shade supporting member close to the edge of the Window casing. Each bracket arm is made hollow and slidably mounted therein are extensions 4: which are held in adjusted position by the set screws 5. These extensions carry vertically slotted heads 6 in which is mounted the shade roller support. This shade roller support comprises two members 7 and 8, the former being provided with a longitudinal dovetail groove 9 and the latter being provided with a dove tail extension 10 slidably held therein so as to adjust the outer ends of the member 7 l1 and 12 provided with apertures and notches for the reception of the ends of the turned at right angles into supporting ears shade roller.

Pivoted to rotate upon the heads 6 are curtain pole supporting members 13 which have vertically extending ends 14 arranged to enter the apertures in the ends of the curtain poles. These pole supporting members when in operative position extend across the slots in the heads and prevent disengagement of the shade supporting member, as will be readily understood from an inspection of Fig. 3.

What is claimed is In a device of the class described, spaced supports, slotted heads connected with the supports and each having a flattened upper face and a bearing-opening out through said face and a bearing opening, opening out through said face, pole supports each comprising a strand of wire having a section thereof bent to contact with the flat face on one of the heads, a journal formed from each section for insertion in a bearing opening in the heads, and a vertically extending end on In testimony whereof We aflix our signatures in presence of two wltnesses.
